TIL if you just show up at a tiny regional aerodrome and start taking photographs everyone will shit their pants thinking you’re an insurance assessor.

People have asked me before about my silly little Minicat Guppy and if it’s a palaver to pack at the end of the day. Takes maybe 15 minutes solo or 10 with help then you’re ready to do whatever’s next. Setting up is slightly longer but that’s almost entirely waiting for hulls to inflate.

Get a battery pump. Trust me.

With a battery pump you can be in the water faster than someone inflating their SUP by hand like a fkn animal.

If I were buying again, I’d get the 310 Sport but also who wants to fuck with shrouds? Sail a proper boat at that point.

Fun fact: Henry, Earl of Richmond was played by Dominic “McNulty” West in his first ever feature film. The entire cast is BONKERS.

It got a 2016 BFI Bluray rerelease so EBay to the rescue. Otherwise I would have determined to prove myself a villain.

Just saw a byline that said “<&name> is a journalist and astrologer “ and biy howdy we need to back the fuck up a minute here.

Might as well be a surgeon and homeopath. Nothing means anything. Eat trash be free.

Hey I realised today I’m closer to pension age than I am to my 40th birthday.

Just pulling the soil into this lovely hole I dug. It feels nice on my chest.

Just realised: there are more nuclear-armed nations where you can't safely drink the tap water than nuclear-armed nations where you can.

Sidebar: doesn't it seem fucking INSANE that Big Bad Russia, population 146m, the oogabooga keeps you up at night nuclear superpower, 1.1m active troops, etc etc is roughly the same size economically as a nation of 27m people who ride kangaroos to work?

The Anthropic float number being bandied around is USD $1.5tn. Australia has a GDP of around that. So does the Russia. Seems legit.

That said, compared to the $368bn that Australia is spending on submarines we will never get, perhaps $1.5tn on AGI that will never come is a fkn bargain.

“The Russia” is now canon.

Im sorry but Slam Poetry and AI is the ultimate “let them fight” situation.

youtu.beJohn Farnham - Pressure Down (Official Video)YouTube video by JohnFarnhamVEVO

Since every issue in this country needs a John Farnham song, I suggest a governement-led campaign about the cooling of online discourse set to the song “Pressure Down”. youtu.be/Emutat3_IP0?...

Fuck me gently I did not remember this video starting with a Frank Thring jump-scare.

The *lewk* on @erinmargrethe.bsky.social’s face when she heard this song just now for what I assume in the first time. I don’t know much about women but I think it was arousal.

🎶 If you’re nude Are you don’t know what you can do Why don’t you and see Charles Dance The actor selling pants 🎶

Every time a new Eels record comes out I think about how E’s father, Hugh Everett III was in many ways responsible for the Many Worlds model of Quantum Mechanics. music.apple.com/au/album/coo...

en.wikipedia.orgHugh Everett III - Wikipedia

For most of his life, people thought his ideas worth not all that much. Niels Bohr especially was not a fan. And nowadays, a simplified version of this theory basically means you can’t turn on the tv without a multiverse popping up somehow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Ev...

I think I want to become a Watch Guy but for affordable watches. For example instead of getting a Bell&Ross, just get a dozen different Swatch and or Timex fun bois.

But maybe also if I get a surprise inheritance I get a Bell&Ross 03-94 and a Tag Heuer Monaco 69. As a treat.

Instead of a car because them shits is expensive now.

Has someone done a website like good-pies.com but for charcoal and or rotisserie chickens?

I can’t do all the food groups by myself.

Welcome to the Narcissism Of Small Didference Hotline. Tonight we’re asking: what do they call swimming attire where you come from? Our first caller is Sandy from Robe in South Australia. Sandy, was it “togs” over there?

Didference is now canon.

One of my favourite dumb YouTube categories is Americans talking about aspects of Australian living that surprise them. Some are mind bending, like … FREE RAINWATER.
